Buddhism offers a personal path of spiritual transformation and not a program for political or economic revolution. But is it always clear where one ends and the other begins? "The modern world can keep many of us alive longer and sometimes make death less physically painful, but it has no answer to the groundlessness that plagues us individually and collectively, because nothing in the world can fill the bottomless hole inside us.
